...advocating specific policies, Rogers is not expected to be bashful once he has immersed himself in the subject. His associates speak of him as anything but a mere mouthpiece, rather as one who is likely to assert his own and his department's views vigorously. Having total access to the President will be an obvious advantage. Senator Jacob Javits thinks the Nixon-Rogers relationship "might be like that of John and Robert Kennedy." If so, State may regain some of the influence it lost to the Pentagon when it could not compete with the strong leadership of former Defense...
...Nixon has tentative plans to ask Congress to combine HEW with the Department of Housing and Urban Development, forming a new Department of Human Resources. The purpose of the merger would be to unite all urban, welfare, public-health and education programs under a single executive-one with total access to the President...

It operates in 70 countries, has access to 20% of the world's known reserves, and ranks third on FORTUNE'S list of the 200 biggest non-U.S. companies. Yet B.P. has never won any stars for marketing.

At one point, they requested figures on the increase, if any, in off-campus fees after Mather became operative. The Committee members admitted knowledge of the figures, but said the amount of the increase was secret until approved by the Board of Overseers. In other words, the students...
Shored Against Ruin. Mrs. Valerie Eliot, the poet's widow, was given photographic copies of all the documents by the library, and she gave Yale Scholar Donald Gallup exclusive access to them. In the 20 hours available to him, Gallup produced several pages of detailed notes for the Times Literary Supplement, plus four illustrations photographed from the text. Of 57 sheets in the original Waste Land, 42 were unused; it is impossible at this stage to assess how much Ole Ez (as Pound liked to sign himself to friends) cut out, and to what extent Eliot...
